The fund has an extremely tight turnaround, and work is expected immediately with all monies needing to be spent by August 31st, 2026.

The reasoning for choosing the National Youth Agency is that they are the Professional Statutory and Regulation Body (PSRB) for youth work in England. They enable and support high quality youth work across a range of settings to benefit the health and outcome of young people. They are the national driver behind youth work standards and quality and are respected by our Local VCFS. They are supporting the DCMS on largescale projects for young people such as Youth Investment Fund, to which we have been part of and HBC's experience of working with them has been excellent.
